Shelley Memorial

[6] It is set on a decorative plinth in a small domed late Victorian room designed by Basil Champneys, behind ornamental railings that protect it from students.

Eventually the statue ended up at University College, donated by Lady Shelley, with a formal opening ceremony on 14 June 1893.

Among others, Lady Shelley, Onslow Ford, Champneys and Benjamin Jowett were present at the opening ceremony.

The statue was a key element in the meeting of two main characters in the 1997 film The Saint, starring Val Kilmer and Elisabeth Shue, and also features in an episode (And the Moonbeams Kiss the Sea) of the British TV drama, Lewis.

This is recorded for passers-by, on a plaque on the exterior wall of the memorial in the High Street, that reads:[8] In a house on this site between 1655 and 1668 lived
